Choose countertop materials that make for easy clean-up. (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends washing countertops with hot, soapy water after preparing every food item to help prevent illness.) White quartz counters keep this kitchen light and bright, while marble on the walls offers a classic look.

Use chalkboard paint on a kitchen wall for meal planning or displaying menus. Baskets and bowls keep fresh ingredients organized by type and top of mind, encouraging you to use them up in meals. Keep countertop appliances essential to healthy eating, such as a blender for morning smoothies and a toaster for your favourite sprouted bread, at hand. Plus, put your best-loved clean-eating cookbooks out front and centre. To make the most of natural light, grow organic herbs on a windowsill for salt-free seasoning, and display art and other mementoes on shelves, as well. No-refrigeration-required Renew Life probiotics help improve digestion, especially when it comes to absorbing carbohydrates like starches and fibres.

This chef-inspired kitchen keeps pots and pans accessible, which also helps speed up weeknight dinners. Stainless-steel counters installed on main food-prep areas bring a professional, restaurant vibe to a kitchen, and can be sterilized easily. While bacteria isn’t something we want on our countertops, beneficial bacteria that grows naturally in the intestinal tract, known as probiotics, help bodies recognize and defeat harmful bacteria or pathogens ingested. Harmful bacteria sometimes outnumbers the beneficial kind because of antibiotic or frequent antacid use, a poor diet or simply aging, leading to digestive issues.

Consider turning an unused corner or closet into a dreamy walk-in pantry. This sleek kitchen features an integrated refrigerator, too — keep yours stocked with fresh ingredients. (Many of today’s refrigerators help fruits and vegetables last longer, thanks to unique cooling systems and special produce preservers that absorb the ethylene gas some fruits emit when ripening.) Outfitted with glass doors, the storage pantry keeps ingredients easily visible. Place dry goods, vegetables and preserved foods in uniform jars on shelves to remind yourself of what’s available when meal-planning, and store your daily-use Renew Life probiotics alongside them.

How do you refresh the healthy menus and suggestions on the ceiling high chalk board that is above the range? Do you stand on the counter? Have a ladder at the ready? Also think safety when you think health, please.
I do like the stainless steel counter in the other kitchen. Thank you.
